Post baseball writers pick Yankees vs. Guardians ALCS games:
John Heyman
Kudos to the Guardians for being the only non-$300 million team left alive. But the AL Central Tournament is a free ride to the World Series for the Yankees.

The Guardians' overwhelming bullpen will cause some problems for the Yankees. However, starting pitching is important in a long series, and the Yankees also have an advantage offensively.

The only thing the Yankees are missing from this easy road to their first World Series since 2009 is a matchup with the Twins.

The Guardians' batting lineup is frustrating. The Yankees' batting lineup is overwhelming.

The key will be for the Yankees to score against Cleveland's starters and avoid having to score against Penn, the best in the majors.

The Guardians are good enough to hang out with the Yankees and even steal a couple. But they haven't hit hard enough to inspire belief that they can win four games in a seven-game series. For the Yankees, 15 years without participating in the Series is enough time.
